Mediaportal TV-server on Windows Server 2012 (3 Viewers)

Looks like a driver issue.

I made the experience that software installation on WSE 2012 can be a little bit tricky. Did you install with explicit admin rights? Launching the software without "Run as Admin" is not always leading to the same result, even if you get the UAC security screen. Might be worth a try: uninstall (then maybe reboot) and install again with explicit admin privileges.

Zip up your logfiles from C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\log and post them here please.

As long as DVBViewer does not work, you won't get any result with MePo either.

@HTPC_Sourcer
yes, I am installing with admin rights and I am logged on as Admin.
Tried to uninstall and reboot a couple of times, but having the same issue as before.

Then I have unfortunately no idea. Just to be sure: has the box been tested under Win 7 or Win 8 and confirmed to work? Not that you are trying to ride a dead horse...

Unless there is somebody out in the field who has got this USB box to work under WS 2012 and can guide you what to do, you may want to consider using another card.

Hm... it is actually not a dead horse, it works fine with all client systems (Win8.1, win8 and win7) I have...
So it must be a lame horse...

I tried now a second card, the Terratec Cinergy C2 USB BOX, but still the same issue...

Maybe in the coming months updates will fix it.

Finally we have the MediaPortal logs. It is obvious there is no problem recognising the tuner. It also seems that tuning is successful. However, it is not possible to start streaming (start the BDA/DirectShow graph) after tuning. This is a bit strange. I could still guess that BDA or the tuner driver are not installed correctly... but I could be wrong.

Can you please provide logs from W7/8/8.1 using the same tuner? Maybe comparison will help us to identify the problem...

Have you installed Windows Server Essentials Media Pack? When I tested Tvserver on Essentials R2 earlier this year I could not tune channels before installing this.

This was not needed in the original 2012 Essentials as I think it was included by default.

Here is what I did when got tv-server running om Windows Server 2012 R2: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/tv-server-installed-on-windows-server-2012-r2.124693/
Do it like that and things should work.

ok here are my WIN 8.1 error logs.
Under WIN 8.1 everything works fine.


@johnzered
I'll try it again with your suggestion, but on server 2012 E it wasn't working either
